What do you mean?
FF XV is the third biggest selling FF game, just behind FF VII and FF X.

Yeah, it continues to sell well, but XV also had such a messy development cycle and so much wasted resources that I wouldn't be surprised if its return on investment was pretty poor.

That is the thing modern publishers refuse to talk about,actual profit and not just sales.
I wouldn't be surprised if older ff games had bigger profits then any modern ff game.

It is also the main reason why games like Pokemon and dragon quest print money,low development costs and high returns.

To be fair, they already did that HD remaster plus ports for the Switch, including the X-2 game. They would have remade all their games... Except for FF8, because someone lost the data of said game. :lol:

FFXV is only doing so well because of all the re-releases and the PC version actually being an improvement over the original. Many FF games don't sell so well nowadays because, especially in the case of FF5 and FF6, the ports on Steam and mobile are actually inferior to what you can get for free in an emulator after a five second download.

As for the 7 Remake, it looks terrible. Barret with shades? what were they thinking. The Resident Evil 2 remake already defied history and logic and was actually pretty decent, even my anal retentive RE superfan buddy liked it and he drops a game over the tiniest of flaws. I just don't see lightning striking twice here.

I just can not wait to play an unnecessarily actionized version of a game I already know every major plot twist to at a slow drip episodic release rate on my new Google Stadia!

I actually wonder how they'll remake Tifa.
Her boobs were gigantic in the original.

About that:

That article sucks except for the video below and the hilarious closing quote "gamers are staying watchful and vigilant to in order to protect the sanctity of Tifa’s bust size."



So this is how a female artist imagines Tifa in the remake?
Give that woman a medal!

Considering what a tramp Cid’s Granddaughter was in FF15 I doubt anyone has to worry about Squeenix downplaying anyone’s bewbs.

Which is not a problem of the game being action.

Point is, action sells more than TB whether we like it or not.

Never played VII before it looked OK except for the voices. I need to see more combat videos to be sure but considering the combat in XV i doubt it will be good. May or may not pirate.

Japanese VA



Observations:
- Mouth animations are lip-synced to language VA
- Jap VA is better IMO (as usual); in particular Aerith, Sephiroth & generic soldiers' barks
(Aerith Eng VA just sounds like a typical main heroine in a typical Eng-dubbed generic anime, got to be a lot more 'refined-sounding' than that)
